I voted in favour of the legislative resolution on the accession of the European Union to the Protocol for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea against pollution resulting from exploration and exploitation of the continental shelf and the seabed and its subsoil. The Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Region of the Mediterranean, commonly known as the ‘Barcelona Convention’, was initially signed in Barcelona in 1976 and amended in 1995. One of the protocols to the Barcelona Convention relates to the protection of the Mediterranean Sea against pollution resulting from exploration and exploitation of the continental shelf and the seabed and its subsoil. The European Union has neither signed nor ratified the Offshore Protocol. It is therefore necessary for the Union to ratify this Protocol. One of the objectives of the European Union’s environmental policy is to promote, at international level, measures intended to resolve regional environmental problems. With regard to the Offshore Protocol, it is particularly important to consider the high probability, in the event of an accident in a semi-closed sea such as the Mediterranean Sea, of cross-border effects on the environment. The European Union must therefore take all measures necessary to support the safety of offshore exploration and exploitation activities and to protect the marine environment in the Mediterranean Sea."@en1
